Woosh - I have been a busy lady. Open Studio Weekend went very well. I had a lot of art there - a lot of people came by - and a lot of art sold. So, goody, goody.
Here are some pics:

Full swing. Shoppers come by to check out my wares. |
I packed it all up on Sunday night and went home. On Monday, I had to go out to a lovely little restaurant, Spicy Green Bean, and take down some of my art that had been hanging and put some new stuff up.
The trick here was that I didn't have time to assemble pieces from Open Studio Hartford. I had to have this all ready to go early Monday morning. So a two shows worth of art framed and organized.
Then, Tuesday through Friday, I've been at a local school doing an Artist-in-Residence program. This school contacted me in September and asked if I could do a presentation and workshops on Finders Keepers and rock painting. So I've been busting my hump creating that for two months - but it has been a lot of fun working with the kids and the wonderful teachers. Here's some pics of that:

Then I jump down into the audience to talk to the kids. |

I couldn't do a real Finders Keepers hunt at the school because that would have been chaos. So I did a visual one with slides. |

Here's a sampling of some of the rocks that the kids have been painting all week. |
No rest for the makers at Holiday time!
Thanks so much for stopping in! Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
